Cheesy Garlic Bread (Easy & Homemade!) – Cooking Classy

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Bread:
   • Slice the bread in half horizontally, creating two long halves. Place the bread on a baking sheet.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Spread:
   • In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

1. Spread the Garlic Butter:
   • Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
2. Add Cheese:
   • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the buttered bread.
3. Bake:
   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

1. Broil (Optional):
   • If you want the cheese to be more golden and bubbly, you can turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, but be sure to watch it closely to prevent burning.
2. Slice and Serve:
   • Remove the cheesy garlic bread from the oven. Allow it to cool for a minute, then slice it into individual portions.

1. Garnish (Optional):
   • Optionally, you can sprinkle some extra chopped parsley over the top for a fresh finish.
2. Enjoy:

• Serve the cheesy garlic bread warm and enjoy the gooey, flavorful goodness!

This simple recipe is perfect for a quick and delicious side to pair with pasta, soups, or as a standalone snack. Feel free to adjust the quantities and types of cheese according to your preferences.
